EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of Geoffrey Clarke's "Cross Theme (1962)" sculpture, located in The Chapel of the Ascension at Bishop Otter Campus, University of Chichester. Steven Baker skillfully frames a detail view from the southwest, allowing us to appreciate the fine craftsmanship and symbolic significance of this post-war cast aluminium artwork. The sculpture itself represents the crucifixion, showcasing Clarke's mastery in blending modernist aesthetics with religious symbolism. Its sleek lines and abstract form evoke a sense of movement and emotion, inviting viewers to contemplate its profound meaning. Through his choice of material and design elements, Clarke manages to convey both strength and vulnerability within this iconic representation. Steven Baker's expert photography highlights every delicate curve and texture on the surface of the sculpture. The play between light and shadow enhances our understanding of its three-dimensional nature while adding depth to its overall impact. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Clarke's artistic genius but also how art can transcend time by provoking thought and stirring emotions. This photograph serves as a testament to Historic England's commitment to preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate.
